Damn ,just thinking about a universe where Alex is IGL on faze with broky rain niko cold ,Alex is so good at setting up star players and with niko focusing on himself what a banger I would have been ,but nobody would have known about mezii.
Janko makes such a great point about Navi. They were dominating early in the year on LAN. I would stay patient with the team and let them continue to grow together. They've already grown a lot since the online era started. Losing the way they did definitely hurts, but I saw more good than bad.
I want them to stick since no point in blaming individual performances. But I believe even if the virus didnt happen , NaVi would have still dipped. Its due to how they approach the game and T side to be specific. They play pretty bland cs and get tilted pretty easily once they have a bad start and the opponent just keeps on pushing them away fairly easily when they have the momentum. Also I think they need to up their teamplay and callings a lot. Its 2020 and NaVi still run out of time to plant the bomb and technically lose the round which they should have won.
@@lohvrti simple ain't even better than zywoo and his whole team plays around giving him good stats zywoos goes in side first as t whenever he doesn't awp and still does these amazing 2 aces simple needs gun drop from boommich buys kevlar and needs to bait in 3 others even if simple was better than zywoo which personally very much doubt it is still a team game and it gets to show that if a whole team plays around the stats of their "star" it won't give you any results

I feel very bad for Ynk as a coach , I know he has a very good mind for the game, and i believe he tried his best as a coach to turn things around But he had very bad luck in terms of Org and Players that he was working with , Mibr I don't need to state the obvious why it was bad , in Faze I was surprised he didn't have a support staff for the team !! Every good org atleast have some analysts and data guys to help the coach and Sports psychologist for the Players !! Ynk got really wronged in that area , and I believe thats what happened to Karrigan as well , and in that shitty org no power was given to coaches or IGLs in terms of roster moves and big changes.
Are you kidding me? He proved nothing. Literally everyone could read random HLTV stats and pretend they know stuff. Why didn't he try to change things when he wasn't satisfied then?
When YNK said that rain enjoy playing with karingan, the players having issues with karingan is not in the lineup anymore, not just Niko? Who else ? Olof? Guardian? I dont think so haha
@@lohvrti He does, and he says so himself. But the way people talk about it is like he is a problem. I dont get it. Look at what he does now that he doesnt IGL. He said and says he hates it. He is not the IGL type, so ofc he's going to play bad when doing both. You can never be best at everything. Now that he is a lurk he plays like he should.
More maps also means you need more work to put in for that particular map and also new player's approach and support him differently.........IMO a better reason would be to hide a particular players weeknesses and exploit the Incoming player's strengths.......eg a secondary awper would be more useful on train or mirage.........less aggresive player on nuke..... A raw aimer on dust 2........ A communication god.....maybe even a excellent support player on vertigo etc etc As for weeknesses.......look at TL which has reached a point that twistzz has to share a lot of support roles for them on maps like inferno .......this guy has insane aim and experience with this team.........another one would be the astralis issue when they had role clash between kjaerbye( never could spell it properly) and Dupreeh.........also now bubzki ( still think he should join a team who needs an hyper aggresive player) not fitting into the scheme of the teamplay at astralis...... because they already have Magisk and Dupreeh but also their game is more about calculated agressio( they literally save in 4v5 retake on dust2 B site or nuke upper site) to play the %'s more.........that's just examples of top teams......if we go lower down......the examples will be even more dramatic
@@saratchandrab4384 well putting in more work is a good thing at the end of the day. Astralis were so dominant because of their map pool to a certain degree. Navi have lost 2 best of 5 this year and guess what? Both were reverse swipes. Now two main explations can be that they were either getting fatigue or their map pool's 💩💩💩. I'm more of the latter opinion.
Haan bhai, second one is definitely has more weight....... vitality one was still bearable but astralis one was so ridiculous to see(neutral fan)......losing 16-14......going overtime and losing........coming back more than 10 rounds on train......shit was epic with ecstag on train as literally a prolonged stand-in going 40-24(I think) that too mostly alone on inner site😂
Even on the map pool being extensive needs a exceptional coach/IGL who believe you win games more of the prep that you do on opponent teams(demo's, tendency) than actually kills in the server.......
" I decided to not get focussed on things I cannot change but instead on the job at hand'' Sounds like a rational decision for sure, but this says a lot to me. He did not push the limits to get something done. If he felt this FaZe team was not going to succeed without maybe a mental coach or something else. Then he should've pushed for it, regardless of what Fazes managers had to say about it. As he says, he has other options and was clearly not afraid of losing his job, so why did he not keep pushing for this. A lot of clues about not taking enough initiative for me.
with the 6-man roster, I think that after the map veto the lineups for every map needs to be public. so the other team knows who is playing and knows what to expect
I am sure the admins and mgmt knows about the line up for every map pre- veto(it's a rule) and opponents know just after the veto right? Or is it before the actually map the particular map?
i disagree, this has the same logic as asking the other team what tactics/strategy they will use rosters and teams are studied so much nowadays that having 6-man rosters brings more excitement to the game
@@brutaljack_40_56 you should know that many team sports competitions - like Soccer World Cup - allow lineup submissions only 1h before match start which is very little time for sports teams to adjust so my opinion is still valid
Vitality and Navi are going through the same learning experience, Zywoo has been filling in a more and more passive AWP role, unless they really aren't getting any openings then he picks up an AK and plays entry, it took them 4 grand final losses to learn and adapt (one of the grand finals against heroic zywoo dropped 127 frags, just to contrast with simple's recent monster performance and still getting 118 frags) Zywoo is letting off the gas and letting the other people in his team shine, shox is dropping 30 bombs every few maps, then nivera has great performances, even RPK has matches where he absolutely pops off. Navi need to learn to do that as well, the rest of the team just does not have enough breathing room to make plays, you will mostly see electronic picking up the pace when simple isn't doing so well, you'd rarely ever see both of them fragging out of their minds in the same map, just one guy playing out of his mind every map isn't enough(unless they are dropping 40 every game)
Always liked and respected FaZe, they definitely could've been a major winning team with ALEX IGLing and Niko playing a more rifler only role. Hopefully they get better and have a set team moving on forward
I think the 6-man thing would be better If regulated to only switch players between matches. At this point it is very early and only big orgs are able to do switch players between maps in a series. If we start it like this to only be able to switch players between different series, orgs can see the value of it and maybe transition to what vitality did in the final. I just think now it is such an advantage for the big orgs that we will never see the smaller orgs come up through the ranks and make the scene better in general. It is not this case in EU, but this could be the way forward to keep NA relevant and maybe improve competitiveness for regions like OCE, CIS and Asia
What ynk said there that they could've had aleksi b or blame f. Huge mistake to not get them. Imagine aleksi b with a players like niko and rain. What a shame that Faze failed to realise the value of an igl.
Honestly, any team if they really want a win, they will work and work and work for it, players now days just happy to get a 30k check, thats why pro cs got so boring, no one coming up with new things, its the same thing over and over again.
Yeah the missed opportunity with CS as a esport is INSANE. Casting isn't on the level it used to be either imho, mostly much less hype and more analysis. As a viewer sport that's just not interesting. I love analysis when I search for it, but not when i'm watching a match. Gimme some hype, storylines and players truly fighting for their spot. For me, the final of blast did kind of give me that vibe due to the S1mple ZyWoO showoff. But I miss the days where entire events were filled with that...
@Chexa Might be, just a curious point. I've heard rumours my boy rain was a bit demotivated during 2019 and maybe he wouldn't put the necessary work in, but everyone refers to him as the best teammate so that feels strange as well. Broky or Kjaerbye makes the most sense of course, but wonder if we get more on it soon.
@@adhirajdeshmukh6813 Both cold and Niko are ambitious and hard working. It's tough to believe that those two are the ones not putting in the necessary hardwork. Broky is young and motivated and also gives a lot of time to CS. It's probably kjaerbye and/ or rain. Tbh I don't completely believe yNk either.
I think a lot of the community pressure came from kicking karrigan not the fact that it was faze clan. Faze was shit before karrigan and amazing after they got him. Then they kicked him and were bad since. It's similar with modern day ence and aleksiB
@@bilboswaggens2975 so what ? After karrigan left, there was always a guy that left or was replaced for some reason ... they had so many player rotations and fuck ups ... it's not really surprising they were so inconsistent ...
@@blumpkin69ish 2 tournament wins with 2 different standins under Karrigan. Doesn’t get much better than that no matter what other preformances they had. Everything worthy winning they won under Karrigan, end of. Speaks volumes about his quality.
I don't think they will go with Guardian. Broky is getting better by the minute, and he has allready showed his AWP, rifle and clutch skills numerous times. Karrigan, on the other hand, could work. They do need a IGL, so Cold allso can get some releif like NiKo does in G2.
a team is only strong when it feels like a team, you got to know eachother. if you change the lineup to often its an unsave enviroment and it will destabilise the team. there is no way you win every thing just because you have star players, you gota have a well oiled team. without some growing toghter you have to relate on pur talent wich is not optimal. keep your team player for longterm and it might pay of but even then, there is many teams to fight for the crown. so its never a save bet even when you havel done everything right.
I fell like Ynk was only in the team, because he was Nikos friend. Other than coach quoted he didn’t provide much. Desk analysts like Ynk or Moses are just not good enough to be a coach, which is totally different to being a real coach ingame.
Dude, YNk as an analyst is on par with chad(IMO)....dude was flexing while commentating literally....... He was anti-strating live while commentating 😂....it was ridiculous
@@saratchandrab4384 It is easy to anti strat when you can see what the enemy is doing on the map. Nothing special about this. Give them a round where he has to be a real coach with only his team perspective and he would fail hard like he did in Mibr and Faze.
@@saratchandrab4384 Faze played only and was worse then before. Almost all coaches are helping the igls massively online, but Faze got worse and worse. All aim, no brain.
1:29:44 When talking about replacing misutaaa completely, It wouldn't work because he plays vital roles on their T sides, When talking about Nivera's rating on inferno he is the main awp and plays a high frag position. Misutaaa is an important part on the other maps and his pit hold on A inferno is very good aswell.
It's not about Niko being IGL of faze but problem with him was and is that he doesn't have that kinda of aptitude as an IGL he doesn't have any kinda of appreciation for the great IGLs like karrigan remember the rivalry interview about karrigan is underatted or overrated the answer was overrated bro you haven't been under any IGLs except karrigan how can you say that he was underatted or overrated On what basis you can extrapolate that he was not good igl because he was very obsessed with major winners and sorry to say he still is very obsessed right now.so may god give him some senses and try to give right appreciations to the right person with no fucking ego.😭😭😭😭.

Sooo Faze piled on the pressure, provided little support, didn't pile on the money either (can't afford players after coldzera? then you cannot want to be a top team, cmon). Pretty much living up to the impression everyone has of the org.
There was not even an analyst before YNK became coach. What I don't get about that is, why would you not hire an analyst/analysts by yourself? take a bit money from each player and hire one? Why would anyone think it's a good idea to not hire an Analyst at this point? It was already really bad while Karrigan was IGL and it blows my mind how you could even work without help. You can't blame the ORG right? Players/Coaches earn money, take a bit from that and hire analysts by yourself? Help yourself if the org won't help you? I mean with an analyst you increase the chance of winning more prizemoney right? it's a good investment in the long run.
That's not how business works unless you are a contractor. You cant go and hire someone as an employee(excluding management positions). There are benefits on top of salary and travel expenses, including visas.
@@NoobGamer-mh4gj you can do whatever you want with your own money. an analyst does not have to join faze clan. most of the work can be done online and faze clan would not even care. why would they? where is the issue? I did not say the analysts should join official faze clan but surely the players can hire people to do some work. It's their money and their decision.
Wait wtf is Prof talking about. Is he high or something? C9 lose to VP and OG (on some maps in close fashion) which are definitely top 15 rosters and Prof says they deffinitely are not a top 20 roster? On which basis Prof?
faze is an org that is not deserving of coaches and igl's the class of ynk and karrigan. that org has never won a major bc theyve never played cs at its highest level. its all about developing ppl to gel together, KICKING THEM FOR BEING TOO GOOD TO LISTEN, and having the best macro level understandings of the game. mechanics should be dead last for any org bc that doesnt win majors. if it did then navi would have won every major since simple came from liquid. look at astralis and vp for fucks sake.
YNk is a decent analyst. Terrible coach. All of the problems he blames on the org and players is ultimately the coach’s job to fix. End of story. Him deflecting the coach’s role and problems to fix onto others is tiresome.
Watch it more. He said that players were not trusting in his calls anymore so there is no point to keep him in roster. But now those players left, so now they can get karrigan.
The time stamps in the description is the best thing a podcast can have. Respect to whoever does that!

What ynk said there that they could've had aleksi b or blame f. Huge mistake to not get them. Imagine aleksi b with a players like niko and rain. What a shame that Faze failed to realise the value of an igl.
Honestly, any team if they really want a win, they will work and work and work for it, players now days just happy to get a 30k check, thats why pro cs got so boring, no one coming up with new things, its the same thing over and over again.
Yeah the missed opportunity with CS as a esport is INSANE. Casting isn't on the level it used to be either imho, mostly much less hype and more analysis. As a viewer sport that's just not interesting. I love analysis when I search for it, but not when i'm watching a match. Gimme some hype, storylines and players truly fighting for their spot. For me, the final of blast did kind of give me that vibe due to the S1mple ZyWoO showoff. But I miss the days where entire events were filled with that...
Nice content
Wonder which players hes referring too
@Chexa Might be, just a curious point. I've heard rumours my boy rain was a bit demotivated during 2019 and maybe he wouldn't put the necessary work in, but everyone refers to him as the best teammate so that feels strange as well. Broky or Kjaerbye makes the most sense of course, but wonder if we get more on it soon.
I don't think it will be Broky or Kjaerbye (since he is very new).
Most probably Cold , Niko , rain ,etc.
surely Rain
@@adhirajdeshmukh6813 Both cold and Niko are ambitious and hard working. It's tough to believe that those two are the ones not putting in the necessary hardwork. Broky is young and motivated and also gives a lot of time to CS. It's probably kjaerbye and/ or rain. Tbh I don't completely believe yNk either.
@@adhirajdeshmukh6813 not n[ko and cold, think its rain
which day comes out on the interview site
Image Navi with Jerry and Almazer ! that would be sick
What’s the music songs name for the intro?
I think a lot of the community pressure came from kicking karrigan not the fact that it was faze clan. Faze was shit before karrigan and amazing after they got him. Then they kicked him and were bad since. It's similar with modern day ence and aleksiB
They had plenty of poor performance with Karrigan
@@blumpkin69ish not when they had their full roster. Only when olof was gone. They even won with Cromen lmao
@@bilboswaggens2975 so what ? After karrigan left, there was always a guy that left or was replaced for some reason ... they had so many player rotations and fuck ups ... it's not really surprising they were so inconsistent ...
@@blumpkin69ish 2 tournament wins with 2 different standins under Karrigan. Doesn’t get much better than that no matter what other preformances they had. Everything worthy winning they won under Karrigan, end of. Speaks volumes about his quality.
is this podcast on soundcloud?
anchor.fm/hltv for all of the audio versions on different platforms
Guardian was talking about a comeback and tehre are roumors about karrigan so maybe faze will bring back karrigan and guardian!
I don't think they will go with Guardian. Broky is getting better by the minute, and he has allready showed his AWP, rifle and clutch skills numerous times. Karrigan, on the other hand, could work. They do need a IGL, so Cold allso can get some releif like NiKo does in G2.
i want to know what cameras they are each using, lmao it's amazingly clear for an online chat
like 97% in ger 00:05:00 - and all the stats where heathsys still works
YNk on the desk is hype.
At least he wasn't drunk
lol why who came on here drunk?
@@holdenm2k it's him joking about how often Niko and yanko would go out drinking together
a team is only strong when it feels like a team, you got to know eachother.
if you change the lineup to often its an unsave enviroment and it will destabilise the team.
there is no way you win every thing just because you have star players,
you gota have a well oiled team. without some growing toghter you have to relate on pur talent wich is not optimal.
keep your team player for longterm and it might pay of but even then, there is many teams to fight for the crown.
so its never a save bet
even when you havel done everything right.
Hopefully FaZe makes changes now..
1:41:00 polite way to say that boombl4 is way too agressive and flamie is predictable
Ynk trying to make it seem like he isn't worthless as a coach
YNk’os place is at the analyst desk with other casters.
I fell like Ynk was only in the team, because he was Nikos friend. Other than coach quoted he didn’t provide much. Desk analysts like Ynk or Moses are just not good enough to be a coach, which is totally different to being a real coach ingame.
Haven't both of those guys played at the pro level once upon a time?
United5 * Moses
Dude, YNk as an analyst is on par with chad(IMO)....dude was flexing while commentating literally....... He was anti-strating live while commentating 😂....it was ridiculous
@@saratchandrab4384 It is easy to anti strat when you can see what the enemy is doing on the map. Nothing special about this. Give them a round where he has to be a real coach with only his team perspective and he would fail hard like he did in Mibr and Faze.
@@saratchandrab4384 Faze played only and was worse then before. Almost all coaches are helping the igls massively online, but Faze got worse and worse. All aim, no brain.
Mibr top #10 pls
1:29:44 When talking about replacing misutaaa completely, It wouldn't work because he plays vital roles on their T sides, When talking about Nivera's rating on inferno he is the main awp and plays a high frag position. Misutaaa is an important part on the other maps and his pit hold on A inferno is very good aswell.
It's not about Niko being IGL of faze but problem with him was and is that he doesn't have that kinda of aptitude as an IGL he doesn't have any kinda of appreciation for the great IGLs like karrigan remember the rivalry interview about karrigan is underatted or overrated the answer was overrated bro you haven't been under any IGLs except karrigan how can you say that he was underatted or overrated
On what basis you can extrapolate that he was not good igl because he was very obsessed with major winners and sorry to say he still is very obsessed right now.so may god give him some senses and try to give right appreciations to the right person with no fucking ego.😭😭😭😭.
Karrigan wasn’t his only IGL wtf?
You can’t just delete the history of Pre Faze NiKo
For example Mouse Niko

Sooo Faze piled on the pressure, provided little support, didn't pile on the money either (can't afford players after coldzera? then you cannot want to be a top team, cmon). Pretty much living up to the impression everyone has of the org.
There was not even an analyst before YNK became coach. What I don't get about that is, why would you not hire an analyst/analysts by yourself? take a bit money from each player and hire one? Why would anyone think it's a good idea to not hire an Analyst at this point? It was already really bad while Karrigan was IGL and it blows my mind how you could even work without help. You can't blame the ORG right? Players/Coaches earn money, take a bit from that and hire analysts by yourself? Help yourself if the org won't help you? I mean with an analyst you increase the chance of winning more prizemoney right? it's a good investment in the long run.
That's not how business works unless you are a contractor. You cant go and hire someone as an employee(excluding management positions). There are benefits on top of salary and travel expenses, including visas.
@@NoobGamer-mh4gj you can do whatever you want with your own money. an analyst does not have to join faze clan. most of the work can be done online and faze clan would not even care. why would they? where is the issue? I did not say the analysts should join official faze clan but surely the players can hire people to do some work. It's their money and their decision.
@@aimlevel again, that's not how business works.
@@aimlevel why wouldn’t the org hire the analyst? The fuck
Wait wtf is Prof talking about. Is he high or something? C9 lose to VP and OG (on some maps in close fashion) which are definitely top 15 rosters and Prof says they deffinitely are not a top 20 roster? On which basis Prof?
faze is an org that is not deserving of coaches and igl's the class of ynk and karrigan. that org has never won a major bc theyve never played cs at its highest level. its all about developing ppl to gel together, KICKING THEM FOR BEING TOO GOOD TO LISTEN, and having the best macro level understandings of the game. mechanics should be dead last for any org bc that doesnt win majors. if it did then navi would have won every major since simple came from liquid. look at astralis and vp for fucks sake.
Janko KRALJ
yanko was the problem!

He's doing his best steel impression.

Learn english maybe?
YNk is a decent analyst. Terrible coach. All of the problems he blames on the org and players is ultimately the coach’s job to fix. End of story. Him deflecting the coach’s role and problems to fix onto others is tiresome.

25:27 if "the firepower" being there justifies signing washed up Neo, why bother kicking karrigan?
Watch it more. He said that players were not trusting in his calls anymore so there is no point to keep him in roster. But now those players left, so now they can get karrigan.
Blamef > Niko Can IGL can frag can watch demos. :D
fallen into furia , just thought !
Kick SpunJ and we have Serb-Croat podcast :D
Spunj is great tho
